Does Bill Cosby have trouble hooking up? Would be very surprising, considering how popular, wealthy and powerful he is.

Heck, reading the stories of the victims, it's pretty clear that many of the victims probably were quite ready to sleep with Cosby to further their careers. (It is a rather common practice in show business after all.) But Cosby would rather drug at least some of those women unconscious and rape them. Because he's just a really terrible person and that is apparently his idea of fun. And very few people are unique cases. Even the bad ones.

Also, Cosby's comments have made it pretty clear that he probably doesn't see what he's been doing as "actual rape".

I can also totally believe that a strong, self-assured guy who starts pushing himself on someone could end up raping someone and not realize that's what he's doing. Because he doesn't want to read those signals, because maybe she didn't actually mouth out the word "no", because what ever.

Which wouldn't make it okay, that's still rape.
(Check for consent people, don't just assume things.)

Let's remember that some people also think it's okay to just punch people of they mouth off to you, and are seriously totally surprised when the punched person can actually press charges. I'm saying that just as an example of the fact that there's a lot of people in the word that have a lot of trouble telling right from wrong.

Rich athletes might have a lot of reasons to avoid rape charges, and they might try to be good people. But neither protects you from being an idiot who doesn't really get what rape is. And there's a lot of people in the world who don't really seem to get what rape is.

For the record, I'm making no assumptions on what happened in this case.

And I don't envy the investigators of this case, at all.
